7 THE ARIZONA" MEPUBI 6 Alrd Jf O PHtENTX, AEIZOJSTA, SUKDAT MOENDTG, AUGUST 27, 1899. VOI. X. HO. 107. TE NTH TEAK. A HIYE OF INDUSTRY The War Department a of Great Actifily. Scene GREAT YOLUME OF WORK Cveiv Bureau Busy With Prepara lions Tor Handling the Big Army Which Is to Be Thrown Into the PhiliDDines Shortly Nurse and Medical features of the Cam paign. Washington, Aug. 2G. The war de partnrsnt is a hive of industry these days. Every bureau is busy with preparations for handling the big army of the Philippines, which is to be in the field within the next few months. There is a vast amount of work of an- executive character to be performed", and the ' force for its per formance i3 none too large. The chiefs of the departments often labor on Sun day and at night to keep up their ends of the line. : The telegraph and telephone play an important part in the , work. The quartermaster's department has a long distance telephone to New York, which is in use almost constantly, while the war department telegraph office handles almost as much matter iu a day as the office of a thriving town. An important branch of the work is that which is carried on by the paymaster general's department, of which General Bates is the head, with Cel. C. C. Sniffen, assistant. Within the past twelve month3 more than $7,000,000 has been sent to the Philippines to pay the troops. It is noted that at least two-thirds of this amount has been deposited by the boys with the paymasters, and a great deal of it has come back to the United States to the families of the soldiers. The men are encouraged to deposit their money, being allowed interest by the government at the rate of 4 p?r cent per annum. . All the soldiers are now beins paid the increase of 20 per cent authorized during war time. This brings the pay of a private soldier up to $15 a month. The men are paid every two. months:, as it would bs inconvenient to attempt to reach troop3 in the field more frequently than that. The paymaster general's department sends money to the Philippines in lots of about $1,200,000. It goes on a government transport, in charge of a paymaster, with a heavy guard, aud is carried without expense to the United Stai.es. Gold coin and subsidiary silver are used extensively. It was founl that the destructive white ants of the Philippines would eat the greenbacks, iinl now the boys get their $15 in yr.l-Icw metal, 'with the $1.?0 in silver. The . commissary and quartermaster departments pay their employes in money, and checks, according io cjn-yenience.It is probable that there will be an increase in the, number of crained nurses to be sent to the Philippines, occasioned by the increase in the army. At. this time there are fifty-eight female nurses in the Philippines or under orders to proceed to Manila. The nurse corps is a very valuable adjunct of the medical department of the army. It was established at the outbreak of the Spanish war, and has grown wonderfully under the direction of Surgeon General Sternberg and the immediate charge cf Acting Assistant Surgeon Anita Newcomb McGee. There are now about 200 young "women in the nurse corps. Those who are not in the Philippines are scattered through Cuba, Porto Rico, the several army camps in this country, with some at Honolulu and some cn the hospital ship Relief. To be appointed in the army a nurse must be qualified as follows: She must present a physician's certificate of health, she must be a graduate from a training school for nurses which, gives a thorough professional education, both theoretical and practical, and requires at least two years residence in a hospital. She must be indorsed by the superintendent of nursas at thp hospital from which she graduated and by the one under whom she was trained. These provisions may be waived in whole or in part in the cases of dietlsts, of immunes to yellow fever and cf nurses who have rendered satisfactory army service during the Spanish-American war. When a nurse is appointed she signs a contract for at least one year unless sooner discharged. For services in the United States a nurse is paid $40 a month, and in Cuba, the Philippines. PortolRico, or the Ha waiian islands, $50 a month. In large j hospitals chief nurses are appointed who receive frcm $18 to $25 a montn in addition to that pay. Thirty days leave of absence is granted a nurse, but no extra leave is allowed if the nurse falls sick. Sh is entitled to receive medical atten dance and care, however, at the hos pitai where she serves or at some otner army hospital. The nurses work ten and twelve hours in the wards, but where climatic conditions require, this tcur of duty may be re duced to eight hours. A certain number of nurses who have rendered at least four months' satisfactory service in the army will be appointed reserve nurses. They will sign a contract to enter active service whenever required and to re port to the surgeon general by letter twice a year. A nurse will be dropped from the reserve list upon reaching the age cf forty-Sve years, or if she becomes incapacitated from ill health. A uniform has been adopted for the female nurses of the army. It consists of a waist with adjustable cuffs and ah apron of white linen, worn with a skirt and necktie of army blue gala- ea. A jacket of the galatea style is also provided to be worn when de sired. Caps are net to be used. Chief nurses are entitled to wear in place of the apron, a sash of red silk, knotted around the waist. Each nurse may have the uniform made as best suits her convenience, but the material and cut are to be as prescribed. The dis tinctive badge of the nurses' corps is a moaihea form or a ureeK cross, or dark enamel edged with gold. AN "ALONGSIDt" ISSUE But Mr. Bryan Admits That Silver Is Not Paramount. Kansas City, Aug. 26. Hon. W. J. Bryan stopped here between trains today while enroute for Denver. "I shall continue to discuss silver," said Mr. Bryan, in responso to a reporter's query, adding: "There was a story from Des Moines recently, that I was putting silver in the background. I am not.

Scene GREAT YOLUME OF WORK Cveiv Bureau Busy With Prepara lions Tor Handling the Big Army Which Is to Be Thrown Into the PhiliDDines Shortly Nurse and Medical features of the Cam paign. Washington, Aug. 2G. The war de partnrsnt is a hive of industry these days. Every bureau is busy with preparations for handling the big army of the Philippines, which is to be in the field within the next few months. There is a vast amount of work of an- executive character to be performed", and the ' force for its per formance i3 none too large. The chiefs of the departments often labor on Sun day and at night to keep up their ends of the line. : The telegraph and telephone play an important part in the , work. The quartermaster's department has a long distance telephone to New York, which is in use almost constantly, while the war department telegraph office handles almost as much matter iu a day as the office of a thriving town. An important branch of the work is that which is carried on by the paymaster general's department, of which General Bates is the head, with Cel. C. C. Sniffen, assistant. Within the past twelve month3 more than $7,000,000 has been sent to the Philippines to pay the troops. It is noted that at least two-thirds of this amount has been deposited by the boys with the paymasters, and a great deal of it has come back to the United States to the families of the soldiers. The men are encouraged to deposit their money, being allowed interest by the government at the rate of 4 p?r cent per annum. . All the soldiers are now beins paid the increase of 20 per cent authorized during war time. This brings the pay of a private soldier up to $15 a month. The men are paid every two. months:, as it would bs inconvenient to attempt to reach troop3 in the field more frequently than that. The paymaster general's department sends money to the Philippines in lots of about $1,200,000. It goes on a government transport, in charge of a paymaster, with a heavy guard, aud is carried without expense to the United Stai.es. Gold coin and subsidiary silver are used extensively. It was founl that the destructive white ants of the Philippines would eat the greenbacks, iinl now the boys get their $15 in yr.l-Icw metal, 'with the $1.?0 in silver. The . commissary and quartermaster departments pay their employes in money, and checks, according io cjn-yenience.It is probable that there will be an increase in the, number of crained nurses to be sent to the Philippines, occasioned by the increase in the army. At. this time there are fifty-eight female nurses in the Philippines or under orders to proceed to Manila. The nurse corps is a very valuable adjunct of the medical department of the army. It was established at the outbreak of the Spanish war, and has grown wonderfully under the direction of Surgeon General Sternberg and the immediate charge cf Acting Assistant Surgeon Anita Newcomb McGee. There are now about 200 young "women in the nurse corps. Those who are not in the Philippines are scattered through Cuba, Porto Rico, the several army camps in this country, with some at Honolulu and some cn the hospital ship Relief. To be appointed in the army a nurse must be qualified as follows: She must present a physician's certificate of health, she must be a graduate from a training school for nurses which, gives a thorough professional education, both theoretical and practical, and requires at least two years residence in a hospital. She must be indorsed by the superintendent of nursas at thp hospital from which she graduated and by the one under whom she was trained. These provisions may be waived in whole or in part in the cases of dietlsts, of immunes to yellow fever and cf nurses who have rendered satisfactory army service during the Spanish-American war. When a nurse is appointed she signs a contract for at least one year unless sooner discharged. For services in the United States a nurse is paid $40 a month, and in Cuba, the Philippines. PortolRico, or the Ha waiian islands, $50 a month. In large j hospitals chief nurses are appointed who receive frcm $18 to $25 a montn in addition to that pay. Thirty days leave of absence is granted a nurse, but no extra leave is allowed if the nurse falls sick. Sh is entitled to receive medical atten dance and care, however, at the hos pitai where she serves or at some otner army hospital. The nurses work ten and twelve hours in the wards, but where climatic conditions require, this tcur of duty may be re duced to eight hours. A certain number of nurses who have rendered at least four months' satisfactory service in the army will be appointed reserve nurses. They will sign a contract to enter active service whenever required and to re port to the surgeon general by letter twice a year. A nurse will be dropped from the reserve list upon reaching the age cf forty-Sve years, or if she becomes incapacitated from ill health. A uniform has been adopted for the female nurses of the army. It consists of a waist with adjustable cuffs and ah apron of white linen, worn with a skirt and necktie of army blue gala- ea. A jacket of the galatea style is also provided to be worn when de sired. Caps are net to be used. Chief nurses are entitled to wear in place of the apron, a sash of red silk, knotted around the waist. Each nurse may have the uniform made as best suits her convenience, but the material and cut are to be as prescribed. The dis tinctive badge of the nurses' corps is a moaihea form or a ureeK cross, or dark enamel edged with gold. AN "ALONGSIDt" ISSUE But Mr. Bryan Admits That Silver Is Not Paramount.
